But James Black's one sentence immediately made Jane Sampson laugh.
On the phone, her laughter was soft, but it was genuine and real.
James Black let out a slight sigh of relief.
It's good that she can still laugh—it means she can still be cheered up.
Jane Sampson had no idea that James Black was currently on his way home. She was sitting on the floor, chatting with him over the phone, holding her mobile phone in one hand while ordering some takeaway to try to vent her unhappiness with food.
She wasn't willing to end the call with James Black and asked him if it was inconvenient for him to talk to her. After hearing James say it wasn't, she felt reassured.
At this moment, what she wanted more was for James Black to be by her side, to hold her and give her a warm embrace. But she knew he was very busy. Still, being able to sit in their home and hear his voice coming through the phone was already enough to make Jane Sampson feel satisfied.
